City of Chicago Farmers Markets will be opening this next week, with an official kickoff ceremony at the Daley Plaza Market a week from today. But some independent markets have already pitched their tents (the Nettlehorst French Market has been up and running since the last Saturday in April) and with warm air blowing and spring flowers blooming everyone at moss is eager to grab a canvas bag and go find a market.
WAIT! There’s an updated version of this post.
Go to to the 2016 Chicago Farmers Market Map post and see the current info on when and where you can visit a Chicago Farmers Market this year.
The very abundance of farmers markets in Chicago makes it hard to keep track of them all. Puzzling over the City of Chicago list (and wishing that it included listings for independently managed markets too), we figured that other people might want the same thing we did. So we decided to make our very own Map of all the 2014 Chicago Farmers Markets! And then we broke it down into a more useable set of Farmers Market Maps by Day of the Week.
Take a look and see what’s going on in your slice of the city today!
